NEWS: Rich Medina DJ Set @ Hoochie Coochie, Newcastle

For the past 20 years, Rich Medina has established himself within the elite league of DJs who have managed to get prince up to dance.

At the age of twelve, Medina played his first show in his hometown of Lakewood, New Jersey. From that moment on, he went onto develop the skills of sequencing and mixing that come so naturally to him today. In 2001, he established an unprecedented nine year run at Lil’ Ricky’s Rib Shack at APT in New York where guests such as Puff Daddy, Mos Def and Prince would be seen mixing with the crowd.

He is one of those rare people who has built himself a platform on his own terms, in his own way, achieving success with every step he takes. Medina’s DJ set at Hoochie Coochie will no doubt showcase some of his finest expertise.
